Is too much B12 toxic? + OTHER blood test results
Posted: Sat Dec 01, 2012 7:05 am
From following the Wahls diet for the past 7 months) and going from 130 pounds to 114 pounds - am male, 5'11" , so am concerned,
i saw my neurologist who requested the following tests:
I am from the UK so some of these tests may be called something else in the US.
the tests and results are as follows:
TEST - VALUE - RANGE
Vitamin B12 - 765 pg/mL - 191 - 663 - HIGH
Serum Folate - > 20.00 ng/mL - 4.6 - 18.7 (folate result assumes no folic acid supplement on day of sampling)
Alkaline phosphatase - 50 IU/L - 40 - 129
Albumin - 52 g/L - 34 - 50 - HIGH
Phosphate - 1.18 mmol/L - 0.87 - 1.45
C-reactive protein - <0.6 mg/L - 0-5.0
Sodium - 141 mmol/L - 135-145
Potassium - 3.9 mmol/L -8 3.5 - 5.1
Urea - 5.0 mmolL - 1.7 - 8.3
Creatinine - 57 umol/L - 66-112
Estimated GFR - >90 - mL/min/ 1.73sqm
ESR - 4 mm/hr - 1-5
White cell count - 3.25 - x10^9/L - 3.0-10.0
Red cell count - 4.08 - x10*12/L- 4.4 - 5.8 LOW
Haemoglobin - 13.1 g/dl - 13.0 - 17.0
HCT - 0.382 L/L - 0.37 - 0.50
MCV - 93.6 fL - 80 - 99
MCH - 32.1 pg - 27.0 - 33.5
MCHC - 34.3 g/dl - 32.0 - 36.0
RDW - 13.8 % - 11.5 - 15.0
Platelet count - 211 - x10^9/L - 150 - 400
MPV - 10.3 fL - 7-13
Neutrophilis -64.0% 2.08 - x10^9/L - 2.0-7.5
Lymphocytes- 24.3% 0.79 - x10^9/L - 1.2-3.65 LOW
Monocytes - 11.1% 0.36 - x10^9/L - 0.2 - 1.0
Eosinophils - 0.3% 0.01 - x10^9/L - 0.0 - 0.4
Basophils - 0.3% 0.01 - x10^9/L - 0.0 - 0.1
Bilirubin (total) - 7 umol/L - 0-20
Alkaline phosphatase - 50 IU/L - 40-129
Alanine transamininase- 20 IU/L - 10-50
Albumin - 52 g/L - 344-50 HIGH
Thyroid stimulating hormone - 4.05 mIU/L0.27 - 4.2
Free T4 - 14.5 pmol/L - 12.0 - 22.0
One that does concern me was :
ESR - 4 mm/hr - 1-5
as just in September gone had this ESR test at my local doctors and the result was:
Erythrocyte sedimentation rate = 2 / mm/h / 2-12 which apparently is good as shows low inflammation
My red cell count was low and so was Lymphocytes
Creatinine was low so yesterday starting taking 5g creatine monohydrate with my breakfast smoothie to raise my low levels,
albumin was slightly high again but i didnt drink any liquid before the morning test on that to calm my frequent urination, so im sure this is why the Albumin was slightly low.
- i know B12 is important for myelin and folate for brain function, but as my levels are high, could this be a problem?
Any thoughts/opinions on these reults would be much appreciated
thank you
